Jennifer Jason Leigh
Reviews Featuring Jennifer Jason Leigh
Excellent performances, wonderful cinematography, observant direction, its 'pseudo-film noir feel, and a great soundtrack combine to make this one of the best films of recent years. This is a gangster film that can make you cry, but dont bother watching if youre just looking for a traditional gangster shoot-em-up because youll be disappointed this story of relationships runs much deeper than that.
Sex and desire come to a bloody head in this elliptical thriller. Stylish, clever, and full of insight into the darker side of both male and female sexuality - but when a film like this runs twenty or so minutes too long, just don't advertise the fact by calling it 'In the Cut'.
The storys not to difficult to find fault with, but thanks to Harmons eerie direction and Hauers foreboding presence, this is deservedly a cult classic. Watch it with the lights turned off.
Give it ten out of 10 for effort, boldness, and even originality but half-marks at best for the acutely unconvincing way it all comes together.
Christian Bale gives his best by giving less in this nightmare tale of a machinist who is one tool short of the full set.
Solondz blends suburban hyperreality with the mythic journey to show that the more people change, the more they stay the same.
David Cronenbergs delve into a grimy video game world has lots of plus points, but isnt quite as good as it should be. Stick to Super Mario.
